(Wayland Additive: Huddersfield, U.K.) -- One of the challenges that has continued to frustrate users of metal additive manufacturing (AM) systems for production applications—in terms of quality and traceability—is capable and useful in-process monitoring (IPM).

From the outset, this issue has been a key focus for Wayland Additive during the development of its innovative  Calibur3 platform, featuring its proprietary NeuBeam technology. As the Wayland team started to build its new system from the ground up, in-process monitoring was included as a key function; it is not an add-on or an afterthought.

The original plans to launch and showcase the full capabilities of the Calibur3 machine in January 2021 have had to be delayed due to the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. As such, the global virtual launch for Calibur3 is now scheduled for March 16, 2021. The physical launch, which will see Wayland welcoming visitors to the now complete Development Suite for production partnerships in Huddersfield, United Kingdom, has been postponed until May 19, 2021, sensitive to the latest travel regulations and guidelines.
